 @chapter List Processing
 
 To the untutored eye, Lisp is a strange programming language.  In Lisp
-code there are parentheses everywhere.  Some people even claim that the
-name stands for `Lots of Isolated Silly Parentheses'.  But the claim is
-unwarranted.  Lisp stands for LISt Processing, and the programming
-language handles @emph{lists} (and lists of lists) by putting them
-between parentheses.  The parentheses mark the boundaries of the list.
-Sometimes a list is preceded by a single apostrophe or quotation mark,
-@samp{'}.  Lists are the basis of Lisp.
